Post subject: | R5E50 and HD with HDHomerun need svn |
I see a lot of people have trouble with black screen when playing HD with R5E50. I understand from reading that there are fixes in the svn's. Every time I try to update I end up breaking something else. I am a novice linux user and don't really understand all the steps I am doing when I follow guides for this, so I am not sure if all the steps apply to what I am doing or not. There are so many guides. My question is .. If I am asking this correctly... can someone do an update for capturing the current svn's. I think this might be building deb's for an easier installation. And give instructions. I would appreciate it. I have been trying all different kind of installs with no luck. I did use the process on the web to update R5D1 to .20 (debs), but it breaks other things. Thanks again.. . |

I'm in the same boat. I have upgraded a R5E50 test machine to SVN but haven't got the guts yet to update my production box (I still have to edit database because Comcast strips the data off their QAM stream). After running SVN HDhomerun is a dream tuner. I use this guide to update to SVN. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... hTVFromSVN Pay attention to 1. The FULL commands to configure MythTV and MythPlugins with ALL features. Do NOT use ./configure --prefix=/usr . This is noted in howto. 2. The Comment from Greg Frost, about compiling and installing MythTV before compling MythPlugins and MythThemes. Other than that pretty strait forward. Don't skip the backup steps. |

Were you refering to comcast not having channel identification in the data? I did not do the backup steps becasue I didn't care about that making a new machine... do you think this was causing me problems? Well, I did through the MythTV Install section (including the notes making changes you mentioned) .. Maybe I need to more... the web install? Then there is a Update your svn section.. isn't that already what the process is doing? Do I need to do the two sections? Do I need to do any of the rest? |

This topic on SiliconDust's forum and post by Jay Dohanue details well how to modify the database when your Cable provider stips the data. http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2297 Quote: I did not do the backup steps becasue I didn't care about that making a new machine... do you think this was causing me problems?
No, Read that guide carefully though, there are steps of stopping the backend buried in the one section about doing the backup. These are roughly from memory steps I did on a clean R5E50 setup. Pre. As root Code: visudo append "/usr/bin/make" This verifies mythtv can use make command Login as mythtv for rest of steps (as many as possible) 1. Backup Code: mkdir ~/mythtvbackup cp --no-dereference /usr/lib/libmyth* ~/mythtvbackup/ cp /usr/bin/myth* ~/mythtvbackup/ mysqldump -u mythtv --password=mythtv mythconverg > ~/mythtvbackup/mythtv.db 2. Get the SVN version Code: mkdir /home/mythtv/svn/ cd /home/mythtv/svn svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/myththemes 3. Configure (configure commands are 1 line) Code: cd ~/svn/mythtv ./configure --enable-dvb --enable-xvmc --enable-opengl-vsync --enable-xvmc-pro --enable-proc-opt --prefix=/usr cd ~/svn/mythplugins ./configure --enable-dvb --enable-xvmc --enable-opengl-vsync --enable-xvmc-pro --enable-proc-opt --prefix=/usr --enable-transcode --enable-vcd cd ~/svn/myththemes ./configure --prefix=/usr 4. Compile MythTV Code: cd ~/svn/mythtv export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3 qmake mythtv.pro make 5. Stop MythTV backend Code: /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop 6. Install MythTV Code: cd ~/svn/mythtv sudo make install 7. Compile the mythplugins Code: cd ~/svn/mythplugins qmake mythplugins.pro make 8. Compile the myththemes Code: cd ~/svn/myththemes qmake myththemes.pro make 9. Install Mythplugin & Myththemes Code: cd ~/svn/mythplugins sudo make install cd ~/svn/myththemes sudo make install 10. Restart MythTV Code: /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start 11. Fix MythWeb Code: cd ~/svn/mythplugins/mythweb
cp -R * /var/www/mythweb 12. Do the menu changes to restore KM specific stuff. Don't take the above literally as a step by step I could have missed something overall is a genral structure of what to do. Be prepared to have to use root user to copy something. Try to use MythTV user when possible so permissions are in line. |

spalVl Thanks so much.. this was perfect... I had to start and stop the backen from root and us SH to do this /etc/inti.d/sh myth-backend stop (or start) not sure why. Also, I had to do mythweb from root and I used \cp for over write \cp -R * /car/www/mythweb other than that, your instructions worked. I was having a slow menu response and the HD picture is small on the screen. I messed with the xorg.conf and changed in the xorg.NVIDIA.TV.OUT to add HD1080i and nvidia to vesa and of course made it my xorg.conf. This gave me almost a full size picture out. I tried to reinstall a video driver, but it fails along the way.. I did not go any further with that. But, the slow responding menu has gone away. I am still not getting 1080 out to my tv though.. it's only 480p ( I can tell because I can change the picture size in 480p, but not in a 1080i input) Well, that's about where I am at... really tired of playing with this thing.. need to leave it set for a while. Thanks again for the help, I did not know to do the svn update from the myth login. Bob |
